My question is how you people have the money for this stuff?

In my opinion it's incredibly impressive that ANYONE has a run like this...500 plus issues.  How do you do it!?  Especially to make a post about it so nonchalantly as if it's nothing to brag about.

Many collectors have been working on the run for 20, 30 or even 40+ years. It's been 31 years since I picked up my first Spider-man comic.

80 - 85% of my ASM collection was picked up off the rack.  Pretty much everything fron #125+, helps keep the costs down.
